Brief Answer:
Avoid travel if possible
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your anxiety related to it.
In my opinion you should not travel as far as possible but if it is very important then flight is the safest mode of transport.
Take all your documents along so that in case anything is needed every information is in your hands only.
Keep walking in flight every half an hour so and keep the intake of water high as much as you can.
